First, total personal preference here, I hate fade to solid banners.

You've done an awesome job with it though, which is why I gave it 5 stars. I love that you did two different text colors on top because that then shows me which tab I'm actually on (makes a difference when you normally keep about 20+ tabs open). Both text colors are also a great contrast to the background, making them more readable.

Love it! Just wish it were across the full banner space.
